Just Awful

★☆☆☆☆
1.0

"I found the 6100 extremely difficult to assemble. Half of the bolt holes do not line up causing extra work, and sweat.



Extremely noisy, loud, makes all kinds of noises sqeaks,raps, etc. Sounds like it needs oil.



The tension never seems to change regardless which program I use.



Front and rear handle bars are loose no matter how hard I tighten the bolts."

    Pros:

  • Comfortable

    Cons:

  • Noisy,
  • Unstable

Do Not Buy

★☆☆☆☆
1.0

"Bought one and rode it 4-5 times a week. About a year in, the computer display broke. Customer service was very good about replacing it. About 6 months later the drive belt snapped. Customer service gave me the run-around for FOUR MONTHS, saying "that part is coming in next week". Finally got it, replaced it (which required taking the ENTIRE bike apart. . .3 hours of work), and it broke again a week later.



In short. . .GARBAGE."
